well, I think you need to make a ram disk image about the kernel data as well. Use the command mkinitrd. See its man page for details. After the image is made, put it in the right folder /boot or some grub folder and make entry in grub.
It should work. Nikhil Bhargava, Research Enginneer, IMT-2000, CDOT Delhi "The Linux-Delhi mailing list" wrote: Hi, I have installed RHL 9 on my machine. As I required a kernel without version support, I decided to compile a new one. I created a directory /home/all and copied the kernel sources into it from /usr/src/linux### and compiled the kernel in /home/all/linux###. Followed the steps given, make menuconfig, make dep, make modules_install exactly as gien in the README ... Well, everything went off smoothly, no make errors of any kind. Then I copied the kernel, to /boot/ with a new name mylinux. The problem is I can't boot into this kernel using grub. I added a new entry similar to the already present entry. Then I even used rdev to specify the root device, but still am unable. I tried all combinations, including : title Linux_something root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/mylinux It says Kernel Panic : cannot mount root fs or something like that. What could be the problem? Should I build the kernel in /usr/src/linux### directly. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Venky PS : ### is the version number. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.
